4. Barry Finally Meets The Man In The Yellow Suit - The Flash Season 1, Episode 9
In the early days of the Flash series, Barry Allen was defined by the loss of his mother at the hands of a being he called The Man in the Yellow Suit (Eobard Thawne/The Reverse Flash) This loss pushed him to go into crime fighting with the hopes of finding his mother’s murderer and bringing him to justice
However in the first midseason finale, Barry got more than he bargained for as Thawne revealed himself to the young speedster. After demanding to know the reasons behind his mother’s death, Barry chased the villain throughout Central City, being outpaced at every turn.
The chase culminates in a stadium, where Thawne’s superior speed and skill overwhelm Barry, leaving him a bloodied mess before speeding off. In addition to intimidating Barry, this confirmed that the Flash was nowhere near prepared for a confrontation with his future rival, both on a physical front as well as mentally.
